About us

Bianco Contemporaneo gallery was born from the natural evolution of a project conceived in 2005 by Rossella Alessandrucci as a  personal laboratory/atelier  in the Pigneto district of Rome.  In 2009, it was transformed into a site-specific research gallery  that invites young emerging artists to confront themselves with the space made available: a white cube from which it took the name of “Whitecubealpigneto”. Subsequently, in 2013, with the intention of expanding the concept of hospitality and territoriality, it also uses other spaces for the organization of exhibitions and events, including those of an international nature and changes its name to “LaStellinaArteContemporanea”, in line with the artistic association “La Stellina” which supports it by Rossella Alessandrucci and Antonio Martini.

In 2018,  It opens a  space in the Coppedè district of Rome and takes the name of “Bianco Contemporaneo”, always in line with the initial spirit of experimentation and investigation of the artistic environment, expanding its interest towards historical scenarios that have played important roles in the development of contemporary art, and invites more established artists  to participate  in the art world and is also active with its own projects throughout the national territory.
